Basicamente um volume focado no Kitamura e infelizmente abaixo da média.

Kitamura loiro para evitar ser apoiado em concorrer para presidência do conselho estudantil

Taiga e Ryuuji se candidatam prometendo tornar a escola um inferno

Kitamura fugindo de casa e revelando para Ryuji que fugiu da candidatura por não se achar digno de estar na posição da presidente, a qual ele gosta e foi rejeitado por ela ir aos EUA.

Ao retornar pra escola já com o cabelo da cor natural Kitamura é questionado por Ryuuji sobre o que deseja mesmo fazer e inicialmente diz não querer ser presidente, até que Sumire aparece e o faz concorrer pois os alunos o desejam

Kitamura se declarando para Sumire Kanou ao decidir concorrer e não obtém resposta.

Taiga ataca Sumire por ela não responder apropriadamente Kitamura.
Caderno de Taiga é visto no final da briga com a foto do festival que ela dançava com Kitamura

Taiga é suspensa, Sumire vai aos EUA e Kitamura se torna presidente do conselho.

Gracias a la traducción pude leer esta sexta entrega y la verdad se me hizo un poco floja.
Kitamura se la pasa haciendo drama de adolescente enamorado y no se percata de que se está llevando a todos entre las patas. Sin embargo, creo que llega un punto muy interesante en el que tanto él como Ryuuji platican de lo que está sucediendo y me parece una gran evolución de ambos, es decir, nos dan a entender que aunque uno siga cambiando y evolucionando, yendo de un lugar a otro, siempre van a haber momentos en que uno mire atrás y se sienta agradecido de la compañía, o en su defecto, motivado por los sueños y la esperanza de lograr nuestras metas.
En todo momento, día a día, cambiamos y en la mayoría de los casos, crecemos para convertirnos en mejores personas; es un proceso que no puede detenerse y que, en realidad, sucede de golpe. Un día eres adulto y tienes que responder a tus decisiones y a la consecuencia de éstas. Es difícil cuando el peso recae sobre ti, pero de pronto ni siquiera te darás cuenta y se convertirá en tu orgullo.
Pese a ello, espero que la siguiente novela esté mucho mejor.

This was my least favorite arc in the anime, but I think it would have been improved greatly had they not bulldozed past some of the details from the book.
Yes, the main conflict ends up being silly, but the book's point is that it's normal for it to be silly because they're all kids, even Kano. The show never links all the bits about this point together, so the few parts that did make it to screen seemed like non-sequiturs.
Also, aside from the main plot, there is so much character and relationship development in this book.
-Everything about Ami was pure gold. She emits some serious fanon-Draco vibes here. I can definitely get on Team Ami shipping-wise, but the great part about this story is that it acknowledges that their feelings are real and not silly, but that there is much more to life than high school and crushes. Ami seems to be the only character who is aware of both these things.
-Yasuko continues to be a ray of pure sunshine. Even though Ryuuji's character is completely different, you can tell that he got his kindness and generosity from her. I love how her attempts at sneaky sneakiness were adorably foiled and how she instantly hit it off with Ami. We never actually see her intro to Taiga in the first book so this sheds some light on how it might have gone.
-It never seemed to me before like Kitamura and Ryuuji were actually "best friends". I used to think that poor Ryuuji was so lonely that he mistakenly gave that label to the first guy who qualified as any kind of friend, and his feelings were more akin to gratitude. I love the exploration of male teenage friendship here and I was completely proven wrong.
-I had suspected before that Ryuuji's love for cleaning and organization and his desire to save the environment and fix people was not just a funny quirk but hiding something darker. His description of the shame he feels about mess and waste in this book, coupled with his compulsive cleaning of Taiga's place in the 1st book, his preference for cleaning instead of hanging out with his friends on an actual beach vacation in the 4th book, and his chronic feelings of guilt about his very existence ruining his mother's life really paints a picture of an insecure child in desperate need for controlling whatever he can in a world where he has very few choices and very little control. I need to break out my DSM copy to figure out if he actually would get an OCD diagnosis but even if he doesn't, the poor kid still needs some serious therapy.
-I can't bring myself to condemn the violence at the end. If we can't enjoy violence in fiction, then how else are we gonna sublimate our baser human instincts? That showdown was fucking EPIC! First, we got an actual swordfight (wooden swords but still) between 2 badass girls who meant to inflict genuine hurt on each other! Also, with all the stuff about Ryuuji being a knight in shining armor, it was Taiga who ended up dueling for her beloved's honor! Also also, as a Dunk and Egg fan, the thing where people start fighting elegantly with swords and then it devolves into an ugly street brawl might be my favorite fight trope. It was FUCKING EPIC and I kinda want more!

There could have been some nice character development for Kitamura and Sumire (who gets to be the cover girl!) but alas, it dragged a lot before getting somewhere. I know it's supposed to be a teenage drama, but so much of it would have been avoided if Ryuuji just... dared to ask his best friend what's wrong? When he's crying the night away in his own house???? This reluctance to get involved was very frustrating to read. We barely saw Sumire, and I liked her from the previous novels... and she felt completely different here. *spoiler**************** Honestly when Taiga barged to beat her up I was happy to finally see some action and, well... hypocrisy being punished. Being unable to answer (but affirm it honestly) would have been much more in character with the "patriarch" girl than just fleeing the mess she created. Punch dat b*tch, Taiga.

Toradora! Vol. 6
Rating: 8/10
"I...I want to be an idiot, too! But...no...no...no matter...no matter what! I can't do...that."
Why had it taken him so long to realize that Kanou Sumire was also just an eighteen-year-old kid
Kitamura takes his spot in the limelight for volume 6, and has a hell of a time doing it. Although the focus is still on Ryuuji and Taiga, we get even more depth into the characters other than our protagonists. Ami especially is one of my favorite characters, and this chapter beautifully illustrates her personality and struggle with it.
The moment she saw Minori's face, Ami regretted what she had said. The weight hit her chest even more than she would have expected.

[Pieter · Rating 4 out of 5]

Funny continuation of the story, a bit less over-the-top silliness and a bit more serious character development especially in regards to Ami. School president elections, recalcitrant candidates and teenagers struggling with their feelings and the fact that things change. At times things are a bit cringe, but not as bad as in earlier volumes. Things between the main characters have hardly been resolved though as the final pages of this volume shows. Looking forward to the next volume.

I'm so glad I watched the anime before reading the light novel. Thought most of this series the anime only changed a few things, there was a major part in this volume that would have really changed the mood the show. That being said, great read!

As much as I admire Taiga for wanting to stand up for her friend and kick a b*tch’s ass, sometimes no answer is the answer...

Yeah, this volume brought back feelings of first love and heartbreak. Sometimes you don’t get what you want. Guess what? Life isn’t over when that happens.

[Dhiraaj Naidu · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is the weakest volume so far. It’s boring, the good parts of previous volumes aren’t being used very well (Taiga and Ryuuji’s joint way of looking at the world), Ami is the most insufferable here, and the two focussed – Kitamura and Sumire – get little to no depth.

Worst arc in the series but always a fun time

[Jake Lewsey · Rating 3 out of 5]

extremely Lrrr voice: ugh, very well, this is a Kitamura-heavy novel anyway

[Bianca · Rating 4 out of 5]

Volume 6 foi uma mistura de engraçado e triste, principalmente as partes do Kitamura em que eu quis abraçar e espancar o palhaço quando descobri a razão da tristeza dele.
